At Leith we aim to give young people an experience that will help them grow into the person they want to be in a safe and friendly environment. We offer a range of different activities from sailing, windsurfing and powerboating - to rock climbing, camping, and music - plus, so much more!

The primary purpose of the CFAV is to assist in the development of young people as

The secondary purposes of a CFAV are:
- Maintain the Sea Cadet Corps (SCC) values

- Safely and securely maintain the unit’s resources and equipment.
We will support you to understand your role, how to do it and the difference you make to the SCC
